About Me

- Dave Cournoyer began blogging in 2005 while studying Political Science at the University of Alberta in Edmonton. In 2006, he was elected Vice-President (External) his Students’ Union and served as Chair of the Council of Alberta University Students until 2007. Since then, he has worked as Communication Coordinator for Alberta’s official opposition party and for various advocacy and public policy groups. As well as writing on this blog, Dave also occasionally writes for publications such as SEE Magazine.
Well, those two companies, respectively, "only" made 46 and 44 percent increases in their profits, last year....
ReplyDelete.... they probably realized then that they weren't quite gouging their customers, enough. ;)
Kinda like creeping bank fees. And hockey. Garners far more fury from the masses than it deserves, especially relative to matters that threaten to wipe out those same masses (like water scarcity, the food crises, etc.).

I am. I just signed with Rogers.
ReplyDeleteHa ha - this is totally a Jack Layton issue.
ReplyDeleteThe CRTC is the problem, not the solution.
ReplyDeleteIf we had an open market when it comes to cellular providers, fees like this wouldn't be a viable option for companies. Consumers would have avenues to vote with their wallet.
What a scam.
ReplyDeleteLet's see if Prentice actually does anything, or if he just does what Flaherty did with the banks and "demand they come in and explain their fees to him" and then after the meeting say "they had reasonable arguments"
ReplyDeleteTo add text messaging onto my phone account with telus doesn't just include adding a text messaging component. Since the base plan that I have is "no longer offered" they can't/won't just add a text messaging thing onto my plan, but say that if I want to make any changes to what I have I have to select one of their currently offered packages.
To get something comporable to what I have, and add text messaging will increase my monthly bill by close to $20, and $20 is the amount I would have to pay for each month left in my contract to cancel it and change providers.
Switching to Rogers, and getting a new phone to boot is looking a lot better.
